Greg has an amazing inventory of quality products. We are doing some landscaping and needed to replace our older garage and porch lights. We were able to set up a time to 'shop' and discuss style and needs. Greg's professional explanations about the amount of light cast from the different designs and glass configurations was extremely helpful. We are nearing the end of major home improvements and will be visiting Greg again soon.

We have purchased both indoor and outdoor lights from Greg and his team on several occasions. They have an excellent selection of lighting in a variety of styles and prices. Their product knowledge makes selecting items so much easier - they have recommended brands/fixtures and when we indicate what we like/dislike about something, they show us something similar that better matches what we are looking for. They are great to work with and I highly recommend them.

If you are looking for excellent customer service, this is the place to buy your light fixtures. They have many years of experience and have a good eye for styles that will work; I needed assistance in that regard.

I bought 5 light fixtures from Greg recently, and he was extremely helpful in deciding which fixtures to order. Home Lighter is a small operation now, so appointments are required rather than just dropping in, but you receive great service during the appointments!

Loved working with the Home Lighter. Brieann was able to look at our remodel and give suggestions to add just the right amount of light to each of our rooms. She looked at some pictures of the rest of my house and recommended lights that I wouldn't have thought to select but they sure looked stunning and complimented what was existing. Would highly recommend them!

I've had nothing but great advice and patient searching for the right lighting for our remodel. Brieanne even came to my house to see what I really needed and help with the layout.

We had been an existing customer in their old location but once they moved and went on appointment basis only their entire demeanor changed. We were treated extremely rudely. Emails and phone calls were rarely returned. We built a home and purchased all lighting from them and within a few years had to replace most of it due to quality issues. Getting things repaired were a real hassle and they made us feel like it was our fault when fixtures were defective. We tried to get a light fixture repaired but their answer was, "we don't fix things here"

The best place for lighting in the area. The owners are great people who provide an amazing product. We used them for all of our lights in our new home. We had an issue with some outside lights that rusted, they replaced them without a fee or complaint. We will buy all of our future lights from them!

Greg and his team at Homelighter are a terrific resource. As a local architect, I appreciate his ability to direct me towards makes and fixtures that are appropriate to the aesthetic of the project, as well as the budget.

It's a bit of a quirky business model but it allows his pricing to be incredible for a quasi-brick and mortar 'showroom'.

I'm so glad the Homelighter re-opened.
They have good taste, not gaudy over the top
like some other places.
I have a couple lamps that have weird bulbs, now
I know where to go.
